Time for another poll to feed my curiosity!
This time, themes 😃

On your primary computer, do you use Light or Dark themes and why?

For context, as much as I love the idea of being completely untrackable (e.g. airplane mode or faraday), I don't go to this extreme, partly due to my partner's protests at not being able to contact me in case of an emergency, which is of course a valid reason.

I wanted to do this poll because I'm still on the fence and I'm always looking for inspiration and new ideas/perspectives.

So don't hesitate to go on a 3-toot rant about your chosen techniques - I'm all ears (eyes). 👍
